Helpful BBO Convention Card HINTS EDIT, CLONE, SAVE, Delete Dupes, Save As PDF, eMail Example Process : General Info : 1. I Used the the ACBL SAYC template for Convention Card Easier to use and quickly Find Info in a Fast Pace Game Everyone is used to it from Club Play. 2. I ignored the "Book Style" Convention Card templates Most Flight "C" or Novice players have never seen before. This puts weaker players at a disadvantage for online games. "Book Style" Takes too Long to Read in a fast Pace game. Easier to look at checkmarks and Fields, on a Standard ACBL card. For those with English as a Second Language, "Book Style" is BAD. MY MASTER Convention Card ( Favorite ACBL card ) 3. Using the ACBL SAYC template I made my most common card I use. I entered MY most Standard Conventions I like. I did a careful EDIT. I saved my MASTER ( Favorite ) card with a Good Title Title: "Favorite KERNSY- SA. JAN 2021" CLONE the MASTER Convention Card for each BBO Partner 4. I then Opened the Master Copy and Cloned a Copy of MASTER, for each Partner !! I changed the TITLE BOX with date and SA plus, My Name & Name of Partner.
